The City of Toronto added language in its Official Plan in 2022 to minimize the use of road salt. throughout the City (Section 3.4 (a) (v)). In addition, the City added the following Text under the title Credit Valley-Toronto and Region-Central Lake Ontario (CTC) Source Protection Plan: "Policies within this plan encourage municipalities to mitigate the effect of road salt applications in development that includes new roads and parking lots. Design measures, salt management plans, and a reduction in the future use of salt in source water areas, such as Highly Vulnerable Aquifers (HVAs) are encouraged." A caution is added: the Official Plan Amendment is under appeal.

Policy Text:
Where the application of road salt would be a moderate or low drinking water threat, the planning approval authority is encouraged to require a salt management plan, which includes a reduction in the future use of salt, as part of a complete application for development which includes new roads and parking lots in any of the following areas:
WHPA-A (VS = 10) (existing, future); or
WHPA-B (VS ≤ 10) (future); or
WHPA-C (future); or
WHPA-D (future); or
WHPA-E (VS ≥ 4.5 and <9) (future); or
HVA (future).
Such plans should include, but not be limited to, mitigation measures regarding design of parking lots, roadways and sidewalks to minimize the need for repeat application of road salt such as reducing ponding in parking areas, directing stormwater discharge outside of vulnerable areas where possible, and provisions to hire certified contractors.
